Season's greetings
As Christmas and the New Year approach, we’d like to take this opportunity to thank you, our members for your support this year.
It is only with the support of people like you that we can help the estimated 500,000 people in the UK who are living with Crohn’s or Colitis – and we are truly grateful to every one of our members and supporters.
As we shared in the September issue of your Connect Now newsletter, over the next three years we are realigning our work to ensure we constantly reflect the needs of our community.
Next year, we will be working hard to drive world-class research, support and empower people living with Crohn’s or Colitis, improve public understanding and work towards early and accurate diagnosis for all.
In the meantime, thank you all for being members of Crohn’s & Colitis UK. However you plan to spend the festive period, we wish you all the best and look forward to continuing to support you in 2022.
